Should I upgrade to a AIO cooler?

[The_assasin141]

I have an i7-6700k hooked with a thermaltake frio advanced http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00001822

First I overclocked it to 4.2 GHz while running prime95 the temps peaked to 75C then at 4.5 GHz it reached 80C I'm concerned with these temps.

My question is if I get this 120mm AIO cooler http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002063 will the temps decrease or do I stick with my current air cooler?

Don't get a 120mm AIO cooler, it will do about the same as your current cooler if not worse. I'd recommend a good heatsink, Your current Heatsink is a pretty budget one, I'd recommend a better Heatsink something from Cryorig I'd recommend a r1 Universal or get a Corsair h100i AIO cooler (they are both about the same performance) just I prefer heatsinks any day compared to an AIO.

what if I get an extra 120mm static pressure fan

It's not worth it trust me 120mm AIO coolers are complete garbage.

Atleast they are garbage for overclocking especially on i7's since i7's are basically 12 core CPU's 4 physical cores 2 logical cores for each physical one it just can't keep a overclocked chip cool enough, that's where big heat sinks and 240mm AIO coolers come in.

alright I think I will get the 240mm one since it's the only one I found in my country I found others but they are junk. What do you think is it good http://thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002457 ?
Sorry for the troubles simply because I'm a noob

I can't really give you a estimate of how good it is as I've never used it. the fans on it don't look very good I must say, I'm sure it will do fine but I'm going to send you to read the best solution on this post http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1815836/corsair-h100i-thermaltake-water-extreme.html Read exactly what he says and see if you can find any of those coolers in your country for around the same price. If not just go with the Thermaletake water extreme 3.0 then.

Does it have to be Thermaltake? There's quite a few, that I think are better, Corasir H100i, H110i, NZXT X61,X62..

Well there is also the cooler master nepton 240M and also the 280L but they cost around 150$ and the thermaltake extreme is 130$. Well I think these 3 are relative in performance and furthermore the thermaltake runs a bit more cooler cuz I saw many reviews and tests about and it seems that it is recommended, what do you think?

I'd recommend watching a youtube video on the Thermaletake, and making up your mind off of that. I'm sure its a good enough cooler to keep your i7 cooled even with it being overclocked. I was just trying to help you get something better for cheaper, but if that's all that is available in your country then by all means, buy the Thermaltake it will suffice just fine.
